Software Engineering Institute

The Carnegie Mellon® Software Engineering Institute (SEI) hosted a Smart Grid Maturity Model (SGMM) Leadership Workshop on January 10 and 11, 2012, on the campus of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The purpose of the workshop was to engage the SEI SGMM team with the SGMM Partner community and others to collect input for the strategy and direction of the SGMM product suite, including near-term corrections, improvements, and clarifications; longer term enhancements, additions, and other major changes; and strategy for expanding and accelerating the use of the model by utilities. Participants included SGMM Partners from the utility consulting domain; SGMM Navigators; a representative of the SGMM project’s sponsor, the U.S. Department of Energy; APQC, the SEI’s scoring partner and data manager; and SGMM developers from the SEI.
